5. Afraid

AEA.R
Before I continue writing the story, I want to tell that the story may occur some Tagalog words.

Back to story!

Sunday

Ayha's House

Ayha is still in her bed recollecting her strength to get up after the Jae things. She doesnt want to get up, but she has no choice because she is hungry.

Chloe's House

Chloe texting someone

Chloe:
0113 Lotus Street, Brgy. Sta. Mesa, Manila
Here's Ayha's address
Talk to her, and clear things between you and her. And please understand her, she lost you for 5 years, kaya mahirap siyang magtiwala ulit.

Jae:
Thank you Chloe, I promise that all things will be fine.

Chloe:
Dont leave her ever again.
I swear Jae.

Jae:
I promise.

Skip time~

Ayha's House

Jae is currently in Ayha's Apartment, and ready to knock.

Knock,knock,knock

Ayha: Yes, who----, Jae not now.

Ayha attempt to close the door but Jae quickly  handle it.

Jae: Ayha, please lets talk.
Ayha: Jae, how? If everytime I see you-

Jae hugged Ayha, sinubukan ni Ayha na umalis sa yakap ni Jae, pero mahigpit ang yakap ni Jae.

Ayha: Jae, let go of me.
Jae: No. I wont let go of you.

Wala ng magawa si Ayha, kundi manatiling nasa yakap ni Jae.

Jae: Sorry, kung hindi ko alam yung nararamdaman mo nung mga panahon na yon.
Sorry kung sa tingin mo hindi ako nag aalala sayo, sa tuwing uuwi ka mag isa.
Sorry kung sa tingin mo hindi na kita kaibigan.

Ayha burst into tears in Jae's arms

Ayha: Do you still care for me, back then?
Jae: Yes, but youre avoiding me.
Ayha: Because I dont want you to her.
Jae: Why?, diba ikaw pa nga nag push sakin na ligawan siya.
Ayha: Its just a joke, bakit mo sineryoso.
(Still crying)
Jae: Joke?
Ayha: yes.

After few minutes, Ayha calm down.
Silence filled the living room

Jae: Why youre avoiding me since college?
Ayha: I was jealous.
Jae: What? Why?
Ayha: You tell me that Im the only one girl you love, and you left me.
Jae: I didnt left you, Ayha.
After we graduate, nagkaproblema kami Anne kasi mas pinili nya yung career nya sa America, yes nagkaayos kami pero malabo na talaga, LDR hanggang she ended it, she said she cant do it anymore, so we broke up.
And that time I want to see you, but you didnt answer the call and text. Nagpalit kana ata ng number. And I decided to adopt a child to lessen my sadness in house and I want a little sister, at si Jaecel yon. After non I smile when I finally see you in the cafe but you avoid me. Sakto theres a friend of mine na ni recommend ka as the best physcologist in Manila. When youre drunk that night, I want to tell you all. But your mad at me. I want to tell you that when we are five I already like you, not as a friend but more than friends.
Pinigilan ko yon kasi ayoko na magbago yung tingin mo sakin dahil lang gusto kita, balak ko na sanang umamin sayo yung Grade 11, nakita ko na masaya ka pag kasama mo si Yohan.

Ayha: Yohan? Seriously? Bakit mo niligawan si Anne, kung you like me?
Jae: nagbabakasakali ako na mawala yung feelings ko, and it helps nawala yung feelings ko sayo. And I choose to be friends with you forever.
Ayha: Jae, Bakit hindi ka nag attempt na magtanong kung gusto kita o hinde.
Jae: Do you like me back then?
Ayha: Yes, I like you more than a friend.
Jae: Seriously Ayha, youre joking right? Baliw na baliw ka don sa mga koreano na yon tas mag kakagusto ka sakin?.
Sabi mo na parang kuya mo na ako, then you like me?.
Ayha: I like you since we were grade 6. ( deadly serious)

Jae stayed quiet he didnt know that all the time.

Jae: Now, Do you still like me?

Ayha didnt answer the question.

Ayha: Ok, its all clear between you and me, I hear your side, and same din sakin, so we are both ok. But dont expect na yung trust agad agad mababalik.
Jae: thats not my ques--( Ayha glared at her)
So we are friends again?
Ayha: I dont know.
Jae: why? Ok na tayo, wala ng problem, ano pa?
Ayha: I--
Jae: Lets forget about the past, and start new ok?
Ayha: o-kay.
Jae: ok. Kumain kana?
Ayha: not yet☹
Jae: cute.
Ayha: what?
Jae: nothing, I will cook for us!
Ayha: wag mong sunugin yung kitchen ko!
Jae: Yes madam.

Jae cooked for their breakfast, and soon they finished it, they stay in the couch watching netflix.

Jae's phone suddenly rang.

Kring....kring...

Jae answer his phone.

Jae: hello mom?
Mom: son, sorry hindi namin mahahatid si Jaecel sa house mo, meron kasi kaming urgent meeting sa company. Pakisundo nalang sya sa  bahay, wait are you available today?
Jae: yes, mom I will pick her up.
Mom: thank you and sorry anak. Love you
Jae: its ok mom. Love you too.

Call ended.

Ayha: Youre leaving?
Jae: (nod) susunduin ko si Jaecel sa Laguna. You want to come?
Ayha: ( thinking) Ah Yes, bibisitahin ko na din family ko.
Jae: ok.
Ayha: I take a quick shower.
